WISE Alumni Workshops

The 2007 and 2008 WISE participants submitted funding proposals to the program for organizing and leading workshops in their home countries. These activities extend the impact of Watson Scholar activities during their stay at Brown, allowing colleagues in their areas of work to benefit, and enabling the program to multiply its effects around the globe.
